I bought 3 big ol picnic cuts to smoke this weekend because they were dirt cheap and Winco had no butts. I was wondering if you could do anything with the skin you have to cut off. I was wondering if you could make cracklin's or something.

Cracklins, chiccharrons, and grattons are made from pork skins and rinds. Here's a better way to make them than just frying them the old fashioned way.
thats the recipe for cracklins but note that you need the skin and fat layer. If you justbwant to make pork rinds then i have used the below recipe with success. You can change up the seasoning as you please.
Any marinara sauce will do.
or
sauté some garlic in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil
add a small can of tomato paste
fry that up pretty good
add a half can of water and make it smooth
heat that up a little
add a couple of cans of tomatoes
add salt and pepper to taste bring to boil and the simmer
add some fresh basil or oregano
let that simmer a few hours add water as necessary and you got some quick decent gravy.
It's easy! as my Aunt Nellie would say.
